WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: February 01, 2003 WebWord Comment -- The January 2003 server logs reveal that WebWord is still pulling in about 5,000 page views per day. Not too shabby. If you are looking for other WebWord statistics, check our Chris McEvoy's WebWord Statistics page. Very useful!

Looking down to #25 in the referer listing... You got 101 hits from where? In the name of research, I visited the site just in case it was an oddly named site devoted to usability, but no. It was pretty much what you'd expect. No obvious hyperlinks to webword.com, either.
Martin, I also saw that. Bizarre. I don't have any explanations for it. Does anyone else have any ideas? Maybe it is something similar to what Kottke described with newsreaders? Do sites simply fire off page requests so that they show up in referrer logs, and then we get curious and go visit? (My guess is, Yes.) Posted by: John S. Rhodes on February 1, 2003 03:33 PM
Advertisers have realised that a lot of referral log information is used and published in a number of different ways. Most sites will use their referral logs to find out about 'like-minded' sites. If your referral report pages can be found by google, then the target site is getting a free page-rank boost from you. I have had a few of these referrers in my logs as well. You may (or may not) have noticed that I have feen filtering these referrers from my webword referrer reports. Posted by: Mac - Dont Attack Iraq on February 1, 2003 03:43 PM
I have just posted my Jan 2003 logs for usabilitymustdie.com in case you are interested. My top search string is "superhero gallery" which brings up the webword superhero page as the top google result! Posted by: Mac - Dont Attack Iraq on February 1, 2003 04:19 PM
And here are some of my favourite search terms that people have used to find pages on usabilitymustdie: "nngroup nude picture" "the scapegoats for japanese deflation" "average people" "terminating house ants" "wacky statistics" "searching for address of owner blue ford pick up truck with lic" "does the internet make us lonely" "left-handed statistics" Posted by: Mac - Dont Attack Iraq on February 1, 2003 04:27 PM
"nngroup nude picture"? That's just sick... (No... I don't want to imagine it. Nooooooo!) Posted by: MadMan on February 2, 2003 01:01 AM
